There was n man.
And he had q horse and wagon.
And he went about the streets selling
Strawberries.
And he yelled ''Straw-buries! Straw
buries!' at the top of his voice.
The sick Eroaned in despair.
The well gritted their teeth with indig-
nation.
And the police couldn't stop him.
But N day providence picked him up
with n congestive chill and sent him
home to die, and he expired in agony.
He was buried in a cheap coffin, in n
cheap lot, and six weeks later his widow
was married to n tinker.
And there was another man, and he
also sold Strawberries. Instead of roar
ing ''Straw-buries!' from down in his
boots he drove about at n gentle pace,
knocked softly at every back door, and
as the girl appeared he quietly remarked:
please ask the lady of the house if she
will buy fresh Strawberries at eight
cents q quartz"
And his ways were taking, and his
berries went as fast as he could load
up, and a syndicate of millionaires took
hold of him and made him president of
a national bank, with a salary of &c.
600 per year. For other particulars see

Dr. McGLYNN Is rapidly becoming
alienated from the Catholic church, iudg-
ing from the following paragraph taken
from his Sunday night speech in New
York:
las long as Catholic people continue
to let the pope do as he pleases in politics
as well as in religion, so long as the Irish,
German aud American poor will be sold
out for any price that Rome can get in
the hope of Strengthening and restoring
the temporal power of the machine. The
papacy is a machine with nothing but the
cunidity and lust for money and power,
and it is the knowledge of this that has
ruined all Catholic countries and plunged
them into atheism. | admit that this is
hardly the kind of sermon | would have
preached from the pulpit OF St Stephens.
1t would have been my first and last of
that kind, but they have turned me out
OF st. Stephens. The machine has

JUDGE BLAIR, who has Just returned
from a trip to Buffalo, grows eloquent
over the possibilities of johnson county
which he characterizes as the garden spot
of the territory. Beautiful as is the
valley in which Buffalo is located" the
judge tells a Boomerang reporter, lit does
not compare with the country about forty
miles north of 1t. The Big Horn, the two
Goose creeks and the Tongue river flow
through a perfect paradise. Indeed,
there is no limit to the possibilities of this
region from an agricultural point of view.
In small fruits it is really wonderful. The
finest Strawberries, large and luscious,
were in the market in abundance at fifteen
cents a quart"

When a man breaks down in the mat

upon the length of time be allows to

recuperate it. A tonic, which gives a
speedy and powerful impulse to the pro-
